The university is good with highly educated lecturers with affordable tuition.

Tips: Central Michigan University is a good and top university with highly educated lecturers with affordable tuition fees. The faculty is good, and everything depends on us. There are a lot of opportunities on campus that relate to technical studies. You can explore as much as you can, and all of the faculty will be so friendly and helpful in academics, as well as in preparing and motivating you to participate in any of the hackathons or webinars. Try to participate as many times as you can, and you will find good opportunities with connections. On-campus part-time work is available if you apply in advance. I would definitely recommend the university to international students, but again, it depends on you to land a high-paying job or not.

Great learning environment with cultural exposure.

Tips: CMU offers a strong Master's in Information Systems programme with practical learning. Adjusting to the cultural shift was initially challenging but rewarding. I received a graduate assistantship that helped with tuition and living costs.

Likes (Student Life): The university provides strong guidance and resources for applying to and finding internships. The faculty in my department is accessible and approachable. They are quite friendly and open to solving any of our queries regarding academics or professional advice when we reach out to them through email.

There are very few job opportunities available for international students.

Tips: Studying here taught me how to slow down and truly absorb everything that is going on. Here, I got a lot of time to truly learn, grow and reflect. The downside is that there are close to no jobs and openings for international students, and a lot of research funding has been cut, which is making it seem like a somewhat hostile landscape right now. Detroit is a couple of hours away, and we would make it a point to go there every two weeks for supplies and entertainment.

The student life is very diverse and the faculty helps you to grow big in your professional life.

Tips: Initially, I came for the August 2022 intake and I stayed on campus for the first semester and had a lot of American friends over there and also made Indian friends in classes then moved off campus in the second semester which helped me save some money. People in Mount Pleasant are warm and welcoming, and there is no crime rate. We don't specifically have any scholarships for international students but I highly recommend students apply for graduate assistance as they will be selected if they score a good grade in the semester in all subjects so that they will be waving one subject fee in the next semester and it repeats every year if you continue as a graduate assistant. On a scale of 10, I would rate 8 for CMU in terms of university subjects, accommodation and the environment.

Likes (Quality of faculty): For Masters in Information Systems, we have highly qualified professionals who make understanding the subject very easy as they will clarify your doubts and also help you with the assignment doubts. The core structure will be divided into parts in such a way that from the understanding of the class you have to do assignments weekly and there will be tests every month all over the semester and one final exam. Every assignment and in-class activity will be evaluated and given a score at the end so I highly recommend not to miss any class. Here, I felt a different way of teaching style as compared to India. The professors at CMU will explain a topic and at the same time make you do the assignments based on the concepts they have told us so that we will be able to grasp them quickly and get hands-on experience on the topic.

Dislikes (Indian Food): Central Michigan University is located in Mount Pleasant. Here there are no Indian restaurants or stores where people from India can try so we have to rely on American food such as McD, Burger King etc. To have Indian food we have to travel to the nearest big city Lansing which is an hour's drive from Mount Pleasant or Detroit ( Farmington Hills ) which is a two-hour drive, where we can explore a lot of Indian cuisine and grocery stores, that is the reason why I chose one star for country food in Mount Pleasant. You can try Qdoba or Chipotle as these tastes will be the nearest to Indian food. A bowl will cost around 12- 20 $ depending on what your protein toppings are. As we don't have a lot of Indian options around Mount Pleasant we almost cook at home and invite friends over weekends to cook biryanis. Once every month we go outings to Lansing to have Indian food and watch movies.

Learning a lot throughout.

Tips: Studying here wasn't my first choice, but it turned out to be the right one. The faculty is good, the people around are great, and someone is always happy to help. The city is peaceful, with plenty of Indians residing there. My program has some of the best professors, who are also very supportive.
